Are you a jobseeker or a professional wanting to master English and speak it with a global accent?

You only need four hours to master the techniques of installing a native-like command of English!

There are eight techniques to learn a second language that no one told you about.

Pattern drills or structural practice
Listen and Bounce or mechanical repetition
Formatting and feeding of sentences
Programming and re-programming of sentences and passages
Installation of a second phonemic system
Surround talk or immersion in second language speech
Installing an error checking mechanism
Linkage to a high-use domain through wider choice of lexis.

For these techniques to be effective, you need a large linguistic corpus to draw on.

R K Iyer's Global English Corpus has over one million sentences which represent more than two thousand patterns. This is the corpus which you will have to install in yourself.

You need a four-hour training in techniques which a teacher/ instructor trained by R K Iyer's ELAC can give you the training. It is important for you to take this inter-active training personally before you can start absorbing the large linguistic corpus created by R K Iyer

In many towns and cities of India there are authorized and trained teachers of R K Iyer's Global English.

E-mail us at iyerenglish@rediffmail.com and you will be given information about teachers nearest you.

That is all you need: a four-hour training in techniques which will include a briefing on how to create your own corpus or database of sentences from known sources. Alternatively, you can buy part or whole of R K Iyer's corpus from your teacher. With the four-hour training and a large database of English you will be well on the way to acquiring a native-like command of English.

R K Iyer's GLOBAL ENGLISH is based on a CORPUS-BASED approach to the learning of English, the first-ever anywhere in the world.

R K Iyer's GLOBAL ENGLISH is positioned as a Received Indian Standard of English alongside British and American standards of English.

R K Iyer's English is a systematically cloned version of native speech and writing. …

R K Iyer is a specialist in English Linguistics, language acquisition techniques and psycho-social aspects of bilingualism with focus on English.

He has written and lectured widely on British and American English, social empowerment through English in India , English as a medium of instruction and English in the corporate world. His workshops on English and training programmes have been conducted at over 750 venues in more than 100 cities.

He lives in Bangalore and advises IT companies on English-based communication skills.

English Language Acquisition Centre incorporates R K Iyer's research and experience in ELT spanning three decades.

ELAC has created a large database of over two million sentences arranged template-wise for learners and teachers of English.

ELAC has evolved a set of techniques for cloning and installing English in a learner.

Through R K Iyer and his team of linguistic facilitators ELAC makes it possible for groups of learners as well as individuals to acquire a mastery of English never before thought possible for second language learners.

ELAC is backed by three decades of research in bilingualism and socio-linguistics. Tens of thousands of teachers and professionals have been trained in the use of ELAC techniques.

The services and products of ELAC are available to schools, colleges, IT and marketing companies, professional associations, families and other groups of learners in customized modules together with instructions on how to install them.

ELAC presents R K Iyer's GLOBAL ENGLISH as an Indian English standard capable of taking its place alongside American and British standards of English.

R K Iyer's English is projected by ELAC as a model and a benchmark for Indians who are often undecided as to which model to choose or imitate – the British or the American. In other words, R K Iyer's English can emerge as a RECEIVED INDIAN STANDARD ENGLISH (RISE) and fulfil a socio-academic need.

All the products and services of ELAC are derived from the database created by R K Iyer over the years. This database consists of over two million sentences usable in a very wide range of social contexts.

This database created by R K Iyer substantially represents the corpus installed in an educated native speaker of English. It represents a high degree of competence in English.

The two million-sentence corpus can give rise to several million more sentences through the process of template re-programmability. (See basic concepts).

ELAC's books, CDs, audio lessons, instructional materials, training modules and educational tools for teaching English have been based on this huge corpus.

Distribution of these products has not been attempted along commercial lines yet; in the days to come, it will be.

The Standard English being promoted by ELAC is speech-oriented and global in its domain reach. It uses R K Iyer's own pronunciation as a standard.

To begin with, a network of individuals, families, schools and franchisee teachers of English, R K Iyer's GLOBAL ENGLISH will be distributed to end-users.

Techniques of installing English are an inseparable part of the corpus. A corpus similar to R K Iyer's could be culled fairly easily from various sources in a matter of months. What is significant is the process of installation of English which is unique to ELAC.

The focus is NOT on learning English using grammar and books. It is on INSTALLING ENGLISH through a process of programmable vocalization.

Listen to R K Iyer speak about English in India , bilingualism, Received Indian Standard English and other related subjects.

I am R K Iyer. Millions of Indians learn English. They learn it passionately. English is the preferred language of commerce, industry and education. Increasingly it is also the preferred medium in more intimate contexts such as the home. And yet, if you look at the quality of English being spoken in India , you are not impressed. It is minimal English; it lacks range and depth. It just about manages to convey ideas on a functional basis. On top of everything, Indian English is not intelligible to those who speak English as their first language. Over the past three decades, I have been working on creating a model of English, which can be globally acceptable: a kind of English which is one hundred percent intelligible to native speakers and which can command their respect and acceptance. I think I have it now, ready to be presented to you. I call it R K Iyer's GLOBAL ENGLISH. You may call it the RECEIVED INDIAN STANDARD ENGLISH.

I am R K Iyer. You can install English in yourself or your child. It is fairly easy. You only need four hours of training in certain techniques and, of course, a large enough linguistic data. . I said install, not teach or learn..

For you to speak English with fluency and accuracy you need range. Your English corpus should be large. Your sentence structures should be firmly installed in you. If you have to remember rules and then apply them in the construction of sentences your speech will lack fluency. Instant speech is possible only when you have actually vocalized hundreds of thousands of sentences modeled on hundreds of different kinds of sentence templates. To install English, you need time. And a different approach to English. If you have the time and the necessary motivation, you can learn to speak English the way I do. All you need to do is register with ELAC.

English Language Teaching today is a highly disorganized business with a vast potential for the right kind of professionals to earn good money.

The massive failure to speak English, in spite of increasing eagerness and incentive to learn, is because of our unprofessional approach to teaching English. My modules and teaching techniques will ensure proper installation of English. And by teaching my Global English, you can earn good money, more money than a professor of English at a college.

Coaching classes promise fluency but fail to deliver. You need a new and a bold approach to teaching English.

Come and join me. Become an associate of English Language Acquisition Centre. And make money. And earn career satisfaction.

ELAC installs the psycho-social operating system called English in learners by helping them code it template by template. It uses a process called monitored and programmable vocalization.

Grammar does not form part of the module; nor does writing of any kind. However, the corpus is presented in both written and oral formats.

Partial installation is possible and it has its uses. But ideally, ELAC would like to enroll learners who are interested in full and comprehensive installation.

It means the learner actually vocalizes about a million carefully chosen sentences arranged under 1000 templates. This activity requires a great deal of time. At the rate of 500 sentences an hour you will need 2000 hours to complete the process of vocalization. If you already speak some English, perhaps a quantum of time needed can be less. In any case, a minimum of one thousand hours of self-monitored or prompted vocalization will be needed for a full and comprehensive installation.

If you can devote one thousand hours to the task of vocalizing sentences in English, then you can enroll with ELAC.

Children and housewives can spare the time. Parents and teachers of children in schools are ideal participants. Jobseekers and young adults who can spare three hours a day can also enroll as participants.

The services of ELAC are not meant for those who have convinced themselves that skills in English are a matter of learning grammatical rules, listening to English and reading books or attending a class in spoken English. For more on this go to other links provided here.

Indians fail to speak English fluently or accurately because their learning is input-oriented. Input is what you hear and read. Output is what you speak. Indians hear and read more English than actually speak it!

They read, write and listen. Reading , writing and listening are inputs, which do not install the language.

Memorization of rules, translation from the primary language of the learner and exercise designed to improve comprehension do not install the English language, either. Only vocalization installs a language.

English, like any other human language, is an operating system that performs a social task.

The operating system called English has hundreds of templates or sentence patterns. These templates need to be installed in learners and it is these templates that generate the millions of sentences that they are capable of speaking.

Linguistic templates need a social setting. For second language learners, however, the social setting may be absent or only partially present for the reason that English is not spoken around them. Hence the social setting has to be imagined or created in the mind or assumed to exist. The process of vocalization must go on, without the learner having to wait for the right kind of social context in which the sentences might be used.

One could say that you do not learn English. You get it installed in you. No one teaches you English. At best, your teacher is a linguistic prompter who monitors yours vocalization. A teacher can assist you in making your templates more accurate.

The installation of English is a process of coding templates. The coding is in the form of self-monitored or prompted enunciation of sentences with or without comprehension of the meaning. Meaning is incidental and can follow later . Vocalization must precede meaning or comprehension .

Learners need to be surrounded by talk. Installation of a language is incomplete without surround talk. The quantum of surround talk needed to install one million sentences is two million sentences: twice as much.

What do you do when you live in an environment in which English is not spoken widely enough for you to be exposed to surround talk? You create surround talk inside you by mentally rehearsing the sentences.

A good teacher or a parent can provide surround talk. But the bulk of surround talk must be created within you.

The corpus you install in yourself should be large enough to put the templates in place. One thousand templates with programmability ( for an explanation of what programmability is, see learning and teaching techniques) will need a half a million sentence-corpus. At a minimum.

If your English is halting, inaccurate or unfocussed, it is because the templates have not been installed with sufficient vocalization. In other words, the corpus that has gone into your internal system is insufficient.

A template is roughly a sentence structure or pattern. Each template requires four to five hundred sentences of enunciation or vocalization for installation. You have to allow for programmability as well. A template is no use if you cannot substitute phrases or words with which to generate more sentences. For a corpus of one million sentences and a set of two thousand templates, you will need 2000 hours of vocalization.

ELAC has the corpus. It has the lists of templates. It has the techniques. It has the experience of having successfully installed English in many learners. Now ELAC is in a position to make its installation service available to a much larger learning public.

R K Iyer's GLOBAL ENGLISH can be installed only if the learners want to acquire a native-like command of English. If they merely wish to brush up their high school grammar and learn to speak a few sentences now and then, then conventional techniques will be sufficient. For best results, they should be engaged in continuous vocalization for at least four hours in a day for several days.

Teachers feeding R K Iyer's Global English can monitor the installation of two or three sets of students simultaneously. The teachers' role will be that of a prompter. The sentences they teach and the techniques of teaching are all pre-arranged for them. It should be possible for two groups to be practicing two different sets of lessons simultaneously..
